According to reports, Moises Caicedo of Chelsea was simply too strong for the Colombian national squad to contain last night while on international duty.
El Universo claims that as the 21-year-old started to take command of the middle, his opponents were compelled to keep fouling him.
Ecuador’s Chelsea core started together in the middle of midfield once more as they drew 0-0 with Colombia yesterday night.
In the middle of the park, Caicedo was joined once more by Kendry Paez, who was beginning his third game in an already illustrious international career.
Even though he made an impression once more, he was disappointed that they did not earn three points and made it clear that he was upset that his team had lost a golden opportunity.
After a difficult start to the season, the former Brighton player—who Frank Leboeuf had previously called “outstanding”—kept up the good work this season.
Last night, Caicedo fouled a lot.
Alongside Enzo Fernandez in midfield, he has been an extremely effective player lately. The Argentine received high appreciation for his performance last night for his nation.
The club record signing once again demonstrated his abilities moving forward as he regularly took on players and tried to motivate his team to victory. Usually mischaracterized as only a defensive midfielder.
Colombia reportedly continued to take him down whenever he gained any momentum, suggesting that they were aware of this.
When Chelsea returns to Premier League action on Saturday, fans of the Blues will be hopeful that he has recovered from his two international appearances without incident.
Mauricio Pochettino will need all of his finest players—especially the South American duo of Caicedo and Fernandez—to be healthy and ready for Arsenal’s test
